Title: In Search Of

One man faces east, one man faces west in Pash Lima’s “In Search of.” Viewers see an eclipsed moon, a searching shark and the sun—symbolism that will mean different things to each viewer.

Artist Statement

The formula for balancing my life as an artist never stays the same. The beauty of it is that art is a very flexible universe that an artist travels through like an astronaut. Searching and stumbling upon new finds and interpretations of worlds and ideas previously found by our fellow explorers of past and present. As I navigate this wide free range of expression I find myself uncovering many different types and sizes of obstacles as my journey goes on. Thus explaining why an artist must not be afraid of being flexible to suit them on their search for higher levels of expression. With an aggressive approach, my compositions balance concepts of past and present futures.

My work is a direct manifestation of the multidimensional lost and found that is me. –

NOMA Presents: “Lina Iris Viktor: A Haven. A Hell. A Dream Deferred.”

Lina Iris Viktor's first major museum exhibit will be on display at NOMA from October 5th through January 6th.

The phenomenal and thriving artist Lina Iris Viktor will present her first major museum exhibit at The New Orleans Museum of Art, opening this fall. Titled Lina Iris Viktor: A Haven. A Hell. A Dream Deferred, the installation will be on display from October 5th, 2018 through January 6th, 2019.

A Haven. A Hell. A Dream Deferred will feature an entirely new body of work created by Viktor that investigates the narratives surrounding America’s involvement in the founding of Liberia. Throughout the exhibit, the artist reimagines the rich history of Liberia’s colonial past. “Liberia appears in Viktor’s re-imagining as a kind of paradise lost, and as a cautionary tale,” said Allison Young, an Andrew W. Mellon Fellow of Contemporary Art. “At the same time, her work transcends this narrative, revealing how examples of visual culture—from Dutch Wax fabrics to national emblems to gestures in the history of portraiture—exist as remnants of these colonial histories.”

Based in New York, the British-Liberian artist is highly known for her luxurious large-scale paintings and installations that are adorned with gold and include references to both modern and traditional West African culture.

“NOMA is pleased to present Lina Iris Viktor’s exhibition, and to foreground a lesser-known history of which the American South was a part,” said Susan Taylor, NOMA’s Montine McDaniel Freeman Director. “In this series, Viktor offers her unique perspective on a complex and multifaceted history.”

Programs related to the exhibition feature conversations led by Lina Iris Viktor and Allison Young, a film series, and a special talk with Viktor and curator Renée Mussai. For more information, please visitNOMA READ MORE........
